So what you really want for America's player is to follow America's orders and aid the two fan favorites to the final 3 and then just drop out of the competition and get his pay check.

I read the live feeds and felt that he spent quite a bit of time doing his analyses of why they should now vote out Kail. Yes, prior to our vote he did campaign for Nick, but I thought he made a very valiant effort to get Kail out after he got our vote. I thought they would all be very suspicious with the level he was giving it.

Dick keeps saying that he wanted to get Nick out, but during LNC times, Eric was not the one pushing for Nick, actually Dick was really the one pushing for it. He was upset seeing his daughter distracted and upset and he wanted Nick out, which I thought was sweet, but somehow it has twisted to it being Eric that did it and not Dick's underlying pushing.

I think that Dick is a smart player and he did really good convincing the house to vote out Nick and then later made it look like it was all Eric. He has also convinced fans on this board of that. He's good! He knows something is up with Eric. I like Dick as the game player, just get tired of the yelling.

That's exactly what Eric signed on to do, so yes.

His brother posted on another board that the only way BB would use Eric as a contestant was if he agreed to be the AP.

then eric should't be eligible to win. as long as BB allows AP to compete for the 500k that player will always have to consider his/her best interests as well as america's desires.

it is unreasonable to expect that anyone would play a game to win a half mil and then just toss it away because people want him to help their faves win instead.

none of us would blow a possible 500k for 20-30k and there is no reason to expect anyone sane to do that for us.

Eric can only influence the noms right? He votes the same way America tells him to. How do we know how many votes were actually cast, and for who? I don't trust CBS at all. Also do you think that Eric has any idea of who the fan favorites really are.

Caprica, according to the way you want AP done, it would mean that 100% of the voting audience favorite player on the show has to be Eric. That's just not possible. Of course people aren't going to vote for Eric to do something to harm their favorite players. That's even silly to ask of someone to do. Eric is in my top 3 players and I like him a lot, but I sure am not going to vote in any way for him to do something to hurt the 1 or 2 players I like better just because it would help him.

Then he should not have accepted the assignment. He agreed to it to get his butt in the house. Then once in he decides that's not what he wants, so he should be fired.

I believe that Eric is working for me. So far he has adequately done what I have requested him to do. So I am happy with the process.

I also believe that he has gone above and beyond for us when he could make himself look even more suspicious. As a person, I wouldn't hang out with him, but I think that he is doing the best he can with what we give him.

He can't win this game and neither can Dick or Jen, but they are what make the viewing interesting.

But he agreed to work for the majority, not the minority.

Web, you may be the majority, I may be the majority.

Point is, he is working for us, whomever that is that votes with the majority. We aren't supposed to tailor make our votes to fit how we think it will benefit him in the game.

I would never vote for him to nominate someone I am for in the game, as Naja stated. I will vote for who I want out of the game.

All I am saying is the way the AP was set up, was that Eric is a regular player as well as AP. What people want is not what CBS had in mind. For people to want Eric to follow orders and his strategy be damned means he should never have been eligible for the grand prize. Eric is eligible for the grand prize and he will try to win.

I know he doesn't HAVE to have Dustin nominated, I'd just be very entertained to watch him try.

You are in Eric's majority not America's majority. He is supposed to be working for America's majority. I can't wait until he decides to go after the minority favorites. Hahaha he knows that Dustin/Amber are the majority least favorite and he will try to take them to the end so everyone will GIVE HIM the win.

All he has to do is say "Jessica should we try to backdoor Dani by having Dustin as a pawn and then backdooring in Dani?" Nah it wouldnt work..

Done job he did what he was ASKED to try and do.

Job accomplished

Huh? Then what's the point? Isn't it exactly what CBS had in mind - to have America vote for tasks for AP to do?

Smokey, since we agree, then we probably are in the majority ;-).

I love the discussion that this creates. CBS really did set it up wrong. Either he works completely for us and is not eligible to win but is outed as the mole at the end or he is a free will agent and has the chance to win.

We watched with friends last night who don't do the Internet stuff and the TV only viewers like Eric and think that he is working for America. They were shocked about the Amber/Eric thing on last night's episode. But, when the alliance still voted to keep Eric, they thought it was edited drama and that it's still a lovefest with the LNC.

Unless you have inside information then you can't say this is fact. Show me where it says, or you have been told by bb that this was how it was supposed to be played. You can't because it never was..From the beginning and per the CBS website what you claim is entirely the opposite.

Nice to agree on some things eh, Web? :-)

Yeah, the discussions fascinate me, too. I love seeing the different perspectives from people (when I don't feel reactive about it!).

I think you can only see the real Eric by the feeds or Showtime. My daughter sees mostly only CBS and she really liked him until she caught some of last night's Showtime.

He was outted by D/D the only ones smart enough to put 2 & 2 together. If the DR had not cohersed the others into questioning themselves Eric would have been gone.
